Yiatin Chu and other Post endorsements in key NY state Senate, Assembly races

Republicans’ goal for the Legislature this year is mainly to win “super-minorities” in the Senate and Assembly: enough seats to prevent the progressives who dominate the Democratic majorities from continuing to ram through their toxic agenda.Democratic supermajorities have given the state soaring electric bills, looming bans on gas stoves and new gas heat — as well as raging crime and disorder, reckless spending and ever-higher taxes.Adding a few more sane state senators can also frustrate the progressive push to turn the state courts into a machine for imposing far-left policies without lawmakers even having to vote for the madness.Let’s start with the challengers:Senate District 11 (parts of northern and central Queens and western Nassau County)Talk about a district in need of a fresh face: At 85, incumbent Sen.Toby Ann Stavisky (D) has held this seat for a quarter-century; her husband Leonard, for 16 years before that. More important, she’s increasingly failed her constituents: She not only voted for the Raise the Age law, she co-sponsored the disastrous “no bail” legislation.

She’s also pushed for racial quotas in public education — a naked insult to the area’s growing Asian-American population, as the quota-mongers always treat them as “white.”Our choice is the challenger, Yiatin Chu (R). She’s not a career politician like Stavisky, but a passionate public-school mom and an immigrant whose priorities better reflect the area’s residents.She’s made a name for herself by fighting for high standards in education and against “affirmative action” that discriminates against Asian and whites.She strongly opposes the criminal-justice “reforms” that Stavisky has rubber-stamped — lunatic laws that have fueled wild surges in car thefts, rapes, robberies and other crimes in the district.And she blasts New York’s “sanctuary state” status and taxpayer funding for “incentives” for illegal immigrants over legal residents.S...
